HAFIZ ÖMER EFENDI
kebab is a tradition of the nomadic Turkish peoples of Central Asia, legend has it that soldiers of the Ottoman Empire in the Middle Ages used their swords to roast meat over a wood fire.
The kebab is a pile of meat that was once roasted horizontally before the vertical posture was invented in 1867 by Iskender Efendi from the city of Bursa (Turkey), he recounts in his biography dating from the 19th century that he and his grandfather Hafiz Omer Efendi came up with the idea of ​​roasting the lamb vertically rather than horizontally so that the fat resulting from the cooking flows by being distributed over the meat thus giving it a better taste since Hafiz Omer Efendi is considered as the inventor of the Döner Kebab
